Dozens of stars from TV, film, music and sports will ante up and bet big to support talented young cancer researchers and change the future of cancer at Tower Cancer Research Foundation's (Tower) 6th Annual Ante Up for a Cancer Free Generation Celebrity Poker Tournament and Game Night on Saturday, September 7, 2019.

This year, the tournament will honor Casey Federman, the Founding President of Cancer Free Generation (CFG), the young leadership division of Tower. CFG seeks to identify, among their peers in the Southern California region, visionary and innovative doctors, medical professionals and researchers and enable them to discover and implement new ideas and techniques to conquer cancer. Additionally, CFG’s efforts support young people and their families who have been impacted by cancer, so that they may approach life with renewed strength and optimism. With this dual approach, CFG’s goal is to help ensure that the next generation becomes the first cancer free generation. CFG’s executive committee consists of young professionals working in a variety of fields including entertainment, finance, law, real estate, and medicine. Many members of CFG’s leadership are, themselves, young cancer survivors. Their common vision is the desire to build a more inspired community via connecting interesting and passionate young people who make a difference in the world and who want to change the future of cancer.

Many generous sponsors are supporting the tournament this year, including presenting sponsor Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos, as well as Skadden, Computacenter, Midnight Radio, Dentons, SunTrust, Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills, Mosaic, Skiermont Derby, and many more. Among the top prizes are: a training day experience or fishing adventure with UFC superstar Tito Ortiz; a Five-Night Stay at the Ritz-Carlton – Waikiki Beach; and a Three-Night Stay at the brand new Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos.

International non-profit Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is hosting its star-studded 35th anniversary fundraising gala honoring prominent individuals who have made a positive impact for animals around the world.
